HARDY CLIMBING ROSES, continued 



*ALBERTINE. (New.) Midseason. Exceedingly vigorous. An aristocrat 

 among climbers, with large, shiny foliage and bronze-red canes. The buds are 

 orange-vermilion and the blooms come in bunches of several double flowers, often 

 4 inches across. The petals are large and are coppery chamois inside with the 

 reverse bright salmon, turning to coppery pink. The color is similar to the Rose, 

 Mrs. A. R. Waddell, which is one of its parents. It is slightly fragrant and blooms 

 best on old wood, so it does not show perfection until planted two years. One of 

 the best of the new climbers. $1.50 each. 



*ALIDA LOVETT. Midseason. Flowers are cup-shaped, large, and quite 

 double; color tender salmon-pink. A rephca of the famous Dr. W. Van Fleet 

 Rose, though not as vigorous, but a more pronounced pink. $1 each. 



•CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY. Early. (See in natural color on page 63.) 

 One of the first climbers to bloom, with an extraordinary amount of large, sweet- 

 scented, crimson flowers. The foliage is medium in size, glossy and handsome; 

 and is remarkably free from pests. In pruning this variety the older canes should 

 be retained. Simply clean the bush to hold it within its aHotted space. This 

 Rose has just one fault — it fades quickly and will not drop its dead petals; but 

 simply cut off the faded bloom and then again enjoy another and another distinc- 

 tive show of breath-taking beauty. $1 each. 



•AMERICAN PILLAR. Mid. to late. (See color on opposite page.) Weare natur- 

 ally proud of having introduced this Rose twenty-four years ago, as the product of 

 the late Dr. W. Van Fleet. In late June the tremendously vigorous canes of this 

 rampantly prosperous Rose plant, already carrying rich foliage, become covered 

 with single flowers about 2 inches across, in shadings of carmine and rosy pink to 

 white in the center, where they meet a cluster of long golden yellow stamens. 

 The delicately fragrant blooms become lighter in tint as the days go by, and as 

 they open successively in very large and symmetrical clusters all over the plant, 

 the effect is wonderful. It is unequaled by any other climber for lasting when cut. 

 American Pillar can be grown as a tall pillar, or it will climb, it will sprawl, it will 

 make a wonderful bush, or planted 1^ feet apart it will make a glorious hedge. 

 In the fall the foliage, with its autumn tints, from crimson to gold, together with 

 a profusion of brilliant scarlet berries, make this Rose almost as attractive as 



treat sprays of Christmas holly. No other Rose takes its place in any way. 

 1 each; 25 for $20. 



•AUGUSTE FINON. Midseason. A vigorous climber with ornamental red 

 wood and deep green foliage. The flower, in all stages from bud to open bloom, 

 reminds us of the Rev. F. Page-Roberts Rose in everything but the size of the 

 bloom, which is about 23^ inches in diameter. The well-formed golden yellow 

 flowers gradually fade to cream, washed with pink. The faded blooms need to be 

 cut as the petals do not drop. $1.50 each. 



•BESS LOVETT. Midseason. Shapely double flowers of clear light crimson, 

 just a little brighter in color than Climbing American Beauty, which it follows 

 in time of bloom. The lovely blooms, on long stems, are well formed, fragrant, 

 and fine for cutting. The petals drop cleanly as they fade. Almost as vigorous in 

 growth as American Pillar. $1 each.
